TreeAgent: Structure-Aware Memory Agent for Processing Long Hierarchical Data

Wei Gu, Weiwei Qi, Jiajun Tang, Tianhang Zheng, Bo Chen, Zhibo Zhang, Jinfei Liu, Kui Ren

原文摘要

Practical Web applications increasingly require agents to interpret long conversations or documents. For inputs exceeding the context windows of large language models (LLMs), memory agents process segments sequentially and retain past information in bounded memory. However, they typically divide inputs into flat token segments without preserving structure or hierarchy, causing three limitations for structured data such as API responses or HTML documents. First, fixed-length segmentation can split fields of the same record, breaking their relationships. Second, segments lack hierarchical information, obscuring their structural context and positions. Third, successive memory updates may discard details of earlier sibling records needed for reasoning on later segments. To address these limitations, we propose TreeAgent, a structure-aware agent that uses the input hierarchy to guide both segment-wise context processing and access to past information. Specifically, TreeAgent constructs segments from complete subtrees and groups of adjacent sibling subtrees to preserve local structural relationships. We provide theoretical guarantees on segment counts to guide token budget selection toward matching the segment count of fixed-length segmentation. We further attach structural paths to the segments for the agent to identify their ancestors and hierarchical positions. We also introduce residual memory links from the segments of low-level children to the segments of high-level parents, enabling direct information flows beyond successive memory updates. We evaluate TreeAgent with four representative memory agents on eight retrieval and aggregation tasks. The inputs are derived from real-world application data in JSON, HTML, YAML, and JavaScript and range from 8K to 1M tokens. TreeAgent improves the average score across the four datasets for all four agents, with 3.61% performance gain on average.

Beyond Prediction Residuals: Conformal Regret Calibration for Robust Contextual Linear Optimization

Lingjie Zhao, Hansheng Jiang, Wei Qi

原文摘要

Predict-then-optimize systems convert contextual forecasts into decisions, yet conformal robust optimization typically calibrates prediction residuals rather than downstream loss. For linear optimization, this parameter-space geometry can be badly misaligned with decision risk: large objective perturbations may preserve the optimizer, while small boundary-crossing perturbations may cause substantial regret. We introduce Conformal Regret Sets, a post-hoc, model-agnostic framework that conformalizes an optimization-derived regret surrogate and uses its calibrated level set for minimax-regret refinement. We first show that directly conformalizing exact regret, although sufficient to certify the nominal predict-then-optimize decision, yields a degenerate robust problem: absent an exogenous bounded support, every alternative decision has unbounded worst-case regret. We therefore use SPO+, a pointwise upper bound on exact regret, as the conformal score, obtaining distribution-free finite-sample marginal regret guarantees under exchangeability. For contextual linear programs, the resulting set decomposes into polyhedral pieces aligned with the normal fan of the feasible polytope. A vertex is active if and only if its predicted suboptimality gap is at most half the calibrated threshold $η$, enabling local, output-sensitive generation of all relevant pieces. Moreover, if $Γ$ is the predicted gap to the closest competing vertex, the nominal and refined decisions admit the sharper worst-case-regret certificate $(η-2Γ)_+$, with an exact early exit when $η\leq 2Γ$. Experiments on contextual fractional knapsack validate the geometry and certificates: continuous refinement reduces the $0.95$-quantile and $\operatorname{CVaR}_{0.95}$ of regret by $9.1\%$ and $13.1\%$ relative to nominal PTO, while vertex-restricted refinement changes only $10.0\%$ of nominal decisions.

RoadState: A Domain-Prior-Enhanced Vision-Language System for Industrial-Grade Lane-Level Map Updating

Deguo Xia, Zihan Li, Jiaqi Wang, Dong Xie, Xiyan Liu, Liuhui Zhang, Jizhou Huang, Mengmeng Yang 等 14 位作者

原文摘要

Lane-level map updating requires temporally consistent, physically valid, and auditable road-scene semantics despite occlusions, ambiguous lane markings, temporary obstacles, and viewpoint changes. We present RoadState, a production-deployed vision-language system that transforms sequential road-scene observations into structured lane-level semantics for Baidu Maps' map-updating pipeline. Its core model, RoadState-VLM, formulates road-scene understanding as autoregressive state estimation, predicting the current structured road state from the previous observation and symbolic state together with the current observation. We introduce Geometric Chain-of-Thought (Geo-CoT), which uses a directed acyclic graph of semantic dependencies as a domain prior to improve semantic consistency and reasoning fidelity across interdependent road-state dimensions. Extensive experiments on a real-world dataset show that RoadState-VLM achieves 94.33% mean accuracy across six road-state dimensions, outperforming the strongest fine-tuned VLM baseline. Ablation studies further demonstrate the complementary effectiveness of Geo-CoT and temporal transition context. A cascaded routing pipeline directs routine cases to lightweight models while reserving complex cases for RoadState-VLM. Since its deployment in March 2025, RoadState has supported lane-level map updating across more than 360 cities and reduced overall production costs by 30%. Together with human-in-the-loop auditing, the system maintains robust performance under stress-test conditions. These results demonstrate how domain-prior-enhanced reasoning, structured state interfaces, selective routing, and human quality control can bridge the gap between VLM-based road-scene understanding and large-scale lane-level map updating.

No Second Run: Does RSI Stop at Frontier Pre-training?

Xiaojie Cai, Jiayi Chen, Junwei Chen, Yu Chen, Sikai Cheng, Jinquan Dai, Siyuan Feng, Bin Fu 等 59 位作者

原文摘要

Pre-training is where every foundation model begins; bringing recursive self-improvement (RSI) there would let AI improve the process that creates AI. Yet public RSI work has so far targeted only post-training, which starts from an existing base model, runs trials costing GPU-hours, and returns verifiable scores. Pre-training breaks all three conditions at orders-of-magnitude higher cost: a run consumes hundreds of thousands of GPU-hours over months and cannot be repeated; its objective, post-training headroom, cannot be read off any single score; and what must improve is not a model but the whole production system, from data pipelines and training infrastructure to the teams that run them. To our knowledge, we are the first to apply RSI to an entire frontier pre-training run from scratch and to report it in detail. RSI does not stop at frontier pre-training, but it changes form: since no end-to-end loop can close over a single unrepeatable run, we decompose it into smaller loops that can, each repairing a step the full run breaks. The result is 801-30B-A3B-Base, a 30B-A3B MoE trained from scratch on 11.8T tokens in three months by a newly formed team. We release it as a base model; the lightweight SFT reported here (6B tokens, no RL) only probes post-training headroom. As a base model, 801-30B-A3B outperforms Qwen3-30B-A3B and Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B, trailing only the larger Qwen3.5-35B-A3B, and keeps this position under identical SFT; with lightweight SFT alone, it achieves the highest average on four agentic benchmarks against fully post-trained models, including Qwen3.6-35B-A3B. Since post-training RSI presupposes a strong base model, bringing RSI into pre-training acts on the foundation every later stage builds on. We open-source 801-30B-A3B-Base and the lightweight SFT data at https://github.com/GAIR-NLP/801-30B .

TimeHF 2.0: Multimodal, Multivariate, and Multi-Region Collaborative Forecasting for Large-Scale Retail Supply Chains

Zhongxuan Han, Zhengxin Shi, Kunxiu Chen, Xiaolin Huang, Yulin Huang, Anni Zhang, Xiaoming Lin, Zhengyu Chen 等 33 位作者

原文摘要

Large-scale retail supply chains need sales forecasts for specified products, future dates or planning windows, and regions under the conditions available at the forecast origin. Regional sparsity, changing environments, volatile sales, and unfamiliar business situations make these dimensions difficult to model together. We introduce TimeHF 2.0, a multimodal, multivariate, and multi-region collaborative forecasting framework that makes flexibly expressed business knowledge usable in numerical prediction. A coverage-aware directed encoder integrates regional sales and applicable covariates. A semantic alignment module transfers language-model hidden representations of natural-language plans and domain experience into target-specific forecasting context. Learning against sales observations connects these meanings to numerical evidence, allowing business users to supply experience, future plans, and changing circumstances without defining a new numerical feature for each description. Text-conditioned future queries and shared/routed experts adapt prediction to the supplied context. An ordered-distribution head allocates fine resolution to routine fluctuations and coarse resolution to extreme sales movements, while daily/window learning connects forecasts to cumulative planning quantities. Online parallel forecasting at JD yields relative accuracy improvements of 18.25% and 17.94% for national daily and planning-window sales, and 19.44% and 18.99% for DC daily and planning-window sales, over the original production deep learning baseline. Component comparisons, loss-design results, and product-type analyses examine the roles of regional information, covariates, business knowledge, context-dependent processing, and robust planning-oriented learning.

Learning When to Think: Dual-Reference Offline Optimization for Adaptive VLM Reasoning

Hongbin Lin, Sizhe Zou, Juangui Xu, Xinyue Xu, Zhuoli Ouyang, Stanislav Kolchin, Chengwei Qin, Zhongxiang Dai 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Reasoning traces improve vision-language models on complex multimodal tasks, but forcing every input to follow a long reasoning process leads to overthinking and unnecessary inference cost. We study adaptive fast/slow thinking for VLMs, where one model answers directly for simple inputs and reasons step by step when needed. Fast answers and slow traces often come from distinct behavior policies, making a single-reference offline objective misweight one mode. We propose DUAL-REFERENCE BOLT (DR-BOLT), which distinguishes the desired fast/slow mixture reference from the sampling distribution and corrects their mismatch in reward-weighted training. Fast/slow partition competition explains routing in the optimal target; an efficient source-wise correction approximates the exact objective when response formats are well separated. Matched Qwen3-VL comparisons use identical candidate banks to isolate the objective from slow-teacher quality. DR-BOLT improves score-length trade-offs over the evaluated offline and online baselines on ScienceQA and three held-out transfer benchmarks, with a 24.1% cross-benchmark slow ratio and a 2.90-fold end-to-end training speedup over reproduced GRPO. These results support adaptive reasoning in the studied two-reference setting, while broader robustness remains open. Our code is available at https://github.com/HongbinLin3589/DR-BOLT.

RL-ATTACK: A Generalized Black-Box Adversarial Attack on Language Models via Reinforcement Learning

Taikun Chen, Yue Zhang, Wei Qian, Hui Fang

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit vulnerabilities to adversarial perturbations that can induce unintended responses. These vulnerabilities can be identified via intentional attacks and subsequently used to improve model safety. In black-box settings where gradients are inaccessible, existing methods tend to guess adversarial transformations using external knowledge, ignoring the information provided by the target model. To mitigate this, we propose a trainable black-box framework based on reinforcement learning, which learns from the target model to generate tailored adversarial transformations. We demonstrate that our approach achieves lower post-attack accuracy, greater query efficiency and better semantic preservation on both natural language inference and generative Q&A tasks. On natural language inference, it drives post-attack accuracy to 2% within 20 queries. Against generative language models, our trained attacker consistently achieves lower post-attack accuracy than the untrained attacker and wins in 4 out of 6 settings when compared to a strong optimization-based baseline. We further experiment with multiple reward designs and training settings, and we find that no design or setting is consistently dominant. Our code is available at https://github.com/taikunudel/RL-ATTACK.

nuReasoning: A Reasoning-Centric Dataset and Benchmark for Long-Tail Autonomous Driving

Zhiyu Huang, Johnson Liu, Rui Song, Xuewei Qi, Yiluan Guo, Zewei Zhou, Hanyin Zhang, Mingxuan Gao 等 15 位作者

原文摘要

Reasoning is essential for autonomous driving (AD) in long-tail scenarios, where vehicles must apply commonsense knowledge, understand spatial relations, infer agent interactions, and make safe decisions. However, existing AD datasets and benchmarks mainly target perception, prediction, or planning, and provide limited supervision for reasoning over realistic long-tail driving scenes. We introduce nuReasoning, a large-scale real-world dataset and benchmark for reasoning-centric AD. Following the lineage of nuScenes and nuPlan, nuReasoning advances real-world AD datasets and benchmarks toward reasoning in long-tail driving scenarios. The dataset contains 20,000 clips, each 20 seconds long, collected across multiple cities, with synchronized multi-camera images, LiDAR data, HD maps, object annotations, and human-verified reasoning annotations spanning Spatial Reasoning, Decision Reasoning, and Counterfactual Reasoning. Unlike prior datasets that focus primarily on visual question answering, nuReasoning supports both reasoning evaluation and planning evaluation, enabling a direct study of how reasoning supervision affects driving performance. Experiments show that fine-tuning VLMs on nuReasoning substantially improves driving-specific question answering, while incorporating reasoning supervision into VLA training improves planning performance even when textual reasoning outputs are disabled at inference time. These results establish nuReasoning as a foundation for evaluating and improving robust, interpretable, reasoning-driven AD systems in realistic long-tail settings.

GIST: Gibbs-Targeted Hierarchical Data Selection for Offline RLVR

Xuliang Huang, Tianxiang Zhao, Chengwei Qin, Yao Shu

原文摘要

Offline reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) trains on a fixed pool of sampled responses and typically supervises every token of every response, although responses and tokens are not equally informative. We study which ones to supervise through the Gibbs-optimal policy of KL-regularized RLVR, which offline training targets, and measure the mismatch between a policy and this target with a bidirectional KL divergence. At the reference policy, this mismatch factorizes exactly and separates the two outcomes: correct responses contribute mainly through the forward term, concentrated on their low-probability tokens, and incorrect responses through the reverse term, concentrated on the responses the policy generates often and on their high-probability tokens. Based on this analysis, we propose GIST (Gibbs-Targeted Hierarchical Data Selection), a two-level selection method that approximates these principles with signals available before training. GIST uses the sampling temperature to select correct responses on-policy and incorrect responses near the policy's mode, and it uses the initial policy's token probabilities to supervise only the tokens where the mismatch lies. Applied to two offline training objectives, GIST raises the average accuracy over GSM8K, MATH-500, and MBPP for all three models under both objectives. In a controlled comparison on Qwen3-0.6B/GSM8K, it outperforms seven selection baselines that choose from the same candidates while supervising 66.6% fewer tokens than training on all candidates of the same prompts.

MAS-Gate: Unlocking Multi-Agent System Lifecycle via Node-Centric Quantification

Hehai Lin, Zixuan Wang, Ming Yan, Peidong Wang, Shilei Cao, Minzhi Li, Bosheng Ding, Juepeng Zheng 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent systems (MAS) can solve complex problems beyond the reach of a single agent by decomposing tasks and coordinating complementary capabilities. Despite extensive research on MAS, existing work largely focuses on specific aspects or individual phases of their development and operation, resulting in fragmented perspectives with objectives and signals that are difficult to reconcile across these different settings. To bridge these disconnected perspectives, we conceptualize MAS development and operation as a three-phase lifecycle spanning design-time orchestration before execution, runtime intervention during execution, and post-hoc attribution after execution, and introduce MAS-Gate, a unified node-centric quantification applicable across these phases. Modeling each execution as a directed acyclic graph, MAS-Gate combines within-node utility, which estimates a node's contribution through changes in reference-answer likelihood, with inter-node strength, which approximates semantic uptake and potential downstream reach. We adapt this shared quantification to three objectives: providing a structure-aware dense reward for Orchestrator training, training an Editor to act on execution prefixes using paired rewards from completed edited and unedited trajectories, and supplying risk-ranked nodes as auxiliary evidence for LLM-based post-hoc attribution. Experiments spanning interaction environments, knowledge-intensive multi-hop question answering, general reasoning, and post-hoc attribution demonstrate that MAS-Gate improves workflow construction, targeted runtime editing, and LLM-assisted error localization over corresponding phase-specific baselines. Together, these results establish MAS-Gate as a unified structural interface for improving MAS generation, dynamic editing, and error attribution throughout the lifecycle.

MAS-Loop: Beyond One-Shot Orchestration towards Self-Evolving Multi-Agent Systems

Hehai Lin, Qi Yang, Chengwei Qin

原文摘要

Training-time multi-agent system (MAS) design seeks to learn reusable orchestration policies, yet prevailing approaches remain largely one-shot: an Orchestrator generates a system but only observes and learns from its terminal outcome. This paradigm discards execution trajectories that expose system-level failures and contain fine-grained information beyond the terminal outcome, leaving no direct basis for revising the source MAS, evaluating the updated MAS, or learning from the resulting contrast. To this end, we introduce MAS-Loop, an execution-grounded framework that closes this feedback loop by coupling an Orchestrator with a trajectory-conditioned Refiner. For each task, the Orchestrator constructs and executes a source MAS to obtain an outcome score and an intermediate trajectory. Conditioned on the trajectory, the Refiner localizes an actionable failure, formulates a trajectory-grounded diagnosis, and proposes a bounded patch to the agents, information flow, or execution configuration. The executable updated MAS is re-executed on the same task to measure its realized outcome under stochastic execution. This pair-MAS comparison provides complementary learning signals: the Orchestrator learns to generate strong systems with fewer recoverable failures, whereas the Refiner learns to expose and repair observed weaknesses, thereby driving policy-level co-evolution across training iterations. Experiments show that MAS-Loop achieves the strongest overall performance among the evaluated baselines, with consistent gains from refinement across all evaluated benchmarks. The co-evolution process also yields MAS-JudgeCorpus, a dataset of execution-grounded source-updated pairs with orchestration- and trajectory-level supervision, which can provide the community with support for MAS reward modeling and trajectory-aware investigation.

LeanSparse: Memory-Efficient Serving for Native Sparse-Attention LLMs

Zaifeng Pan, Chris Wu, Xinwei Qiang, Zhengding Hu, Zhongkai Yu, Yufei Ding

原文摘要

Sparse attention limits the history read by each query, but serving long contexts still requires substantial GPU memory. Existing KV offloading systems retain the full history of indexer keys on GPU, limiting decode concurrency. Prefill's temporary memory demand can further delay admission even when enough memory remains for the same request's subsequent decode. We present LeanSparse, a serving system that reduces both decode's persistent memory use and prefill's temporary memory demand. Our design exploits two observations: prefill consumes historical data one layer at a time, and decode can identify promising candidates before comparing their original indexer scores. During prefill, LeanSparse streams layer histories through two reusable GPU buffers, overlapping next-layer loading with ongoing model computation. During decode, coarse-to-fine indexing searches compact representations and retrieves original indexer keys only for candidate refinement. Separate indexer key and KV caches reuse data across generation steps. We implement LeanSparse in SGLang and evaluate it on DeepSeek-V4-Flash. At 950K context length, LeanSparse supports 2.95$\times$ as many concurrent requests and achieves 2.14$\times$ decode throughput over HiSparse. On multi-turn Open-SWE traces, it reduces median time to first token from 21.6 to 0.6s and median session completion time by 17.7% relative to ECHO.

Revisiting Over-refusal in Safety-aligned Large Language Models: A Representation and Optimization Perspective

Chao Chen, Pengyang Shao, Wei Qin, Shijie Hao, Fei Shen, Richang Hong

原文摘要

Over-refusal is a critical side effect of safety alignment in large language models (LLMs), causing harmless but superficially risky queries to be mistakenly rejected. Despite the effectiveness of existing mitigation methods, why safety-aligned LLMs may still reject harmless queries under correct safety supervision remains insufficiently understood. To address this gap, we analyze over-refusal through the lens of representation and optimization. We make two observations: 1) the representations of harmful and over-refusal samples are visually distinguishable at certain intermediate layers but increasingly overlap in deeper layers; and 2) harmful-sample gradients exhibit high intra-class similarity and concentrate in a low-rank subspace. Moreover, they are more strongly aligned with refusal-target gradients than with correct helpful-target gradients on over-refusal prompts. This imbalanced gradient coupling can bias over-refusal samples toward refusal, while the reduced apparent representational separation in deeper layers may make it more difficult for the model to maintain a clear boundary between harmful and over-refusal samples. To this end, we propose GOAL (Gradient Orthogonalization with contrAstive Learning), a safety-alignment framework for mitigating over-refusal. Specifically, GOAL consists of two components: 1) to prevent imbalanced gradient coupling from biasing the optimization of over-refusal samples toward refusal, we orthogonalize over-refusal gradients against the low-rank refusal subspace extracted from harmful gradients; and 2) to explicitly enhance the separation between harmful and over-refusal representations, we introduce a contrastive learning objective. Extensive experiments across multiple models and benchmarks demonstrate that GOAL effectively mitigates over-refusal while preserving safety performance and general capabilities.

From Interaction to Capability: Task Advancement as State and Supervision for GUI Agents

Ziyang Chen, Qian Li, Chengwei Qin

原文摘要

GUI memory should preserve the results of past actions and learn reusable operations. This is difficult in long-horizon workflows, where agents must use information across applications and useful operations are interleaved with failed attempts. We introduce Task Advancement Memory (TAM), which defines task advancement as verified task progress, and supports ongoing task execution and learns reusable operations. During execution, Task Advancement State represents how verified task progress changes the remaining goals, allowing the agent to build on earlier achievements across applications. After each task, advancement supervision identifies and abstracts the interactions that produced a verified local result. The learned operations preserve the relation between required inputs, expected outcomes, and verification conditions. This retains locally successful operations from both successful and failed tasks. On MobileWorld GUI-only tasks, Advancement State alone raises success from 12.0% to 28.2%. Full TAM achieves a 17.6% relative gain in task success over the strongest evaluated baseline and reduces lifecycle tokens per solved task by 38.7%. On SPA-Bench, TAM achieves state-of-the-art task success in the single-app English Level 3 setting.

SciPedia: Unlocking the Value of Scientific Data for Pre-training

Yiwei Qin Shanghai Jiaotong University, Zhen Huang, Tiantian Mi, Weiye Si, Qipeng Guo Shanghai AI Laboratory, Siyuan Feng Shanghai Innovation Institute, Pengfei Liu

原文摘要

High-quality scientific data is critical for advancing LLMs, yet academic literature remains largely underutilized. This work addresses the fundamental question: How can we systematically unlock scientific data’s value for pre-training? First, we construct a large-scale raw scientific corpus but identify a critical Learnability Gap, revealing that direct pre-training yields negligible gains. To bridge this, we develop a multi-stage pipeline featuring content cleaning and pedagogical augmentation, resulting in SciPedia, a 900B-token corpus. Finally, we establish a controlled verification framework: we develop SciPedia-Eval benchmark and conduct 600B tokens of continued pre-training (CPT) starting from transparent base models (3B/7B) trained from scratch. Compared to a CPT baseline trained with general-purpose data, our approach with SciPedia data boosts average performance by +2.12 (3B) and +2.95 (7B), reaching +5.60 and +8.40 on in-domain tasks. This setup further allows us to derive empirical guidelines for data composition and model configurations.

MemSearch-o1: Empowering Large Language Models with Reasoning-Aligned Memory Growth in Agentic Search

Sheng Zhang, Junyi Li, Yingyi Zhang, Pengyue Jia City University of Hong Kong, Yichao Wang, Xiaowei Qian City University of Hong Kong, Wenlin Zhang City University of Hong Kong, Maolin Wang 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have scaled the potential for reasoning and agentic search, wherein models autonomously plan, retrieve, and reason over external knowledge to answer complex queries. However, the iterative think–search loop accumulates long system memories, leading to memory dilution problem. In addition, existing memory management methods struggle to capture fine-grained semantic relations between queries and documents and often lose substantial information. Therefore, we propose MemSearch-o1, an agentic search framework built on reasoning-aligned memory growth and retracing. MemSearch-o1 dynamically grows fine-grained memory fragments from memory seed tokens from the queries, then retraces and deeply refines the memory via a contribution function, and finally reorganizes a globally connected memory path. This shifts memory management from stream-like concatenation to structured, token-level growth with path-based reasoning. Experiments on eight benchmark datasets show that MemSearch-o1 substantially mitigates memory dilution, and more effectively activates the reasoning potential of diverse LLMs, establishing a solid foundation for memory-aware agentic intelligence.

Self-Reflective Generation at Test Time

Jian Mu, Qixin Zhang Nanyang Technological University, Zhiyong Wang Chinese University of Hong Kong, Menglin Yang HKUST(GZ), Shuang Qiu City University of Hong Kong, Chengwei Qin The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), Zhongxiang Dai The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Yao Shu The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou)

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly solve complex reasoning tasks via long chain-of-thought, but their forward-only autoregressive generation process is fragile; early token errors can cascade, which creates a clear need for self-reflection mechanisms. However, existing self-reflection either performs revisions over full drafts or learns self-correction via expensive training, both fundamentally reactive and inefficient. To address this, we propose Self-Reflective Generation at Test Time (SRGen), a lightweight test-time framework that reflects before generating at uncertain points. During token generation, SRGen utilizes dynamic entropy thresholding to identify high-uncertainty tokens. For each identified token, it trains a specific corrective vector, which fully exploits the already generated context for a self-reflective generation to correct the token probability distribution. By retrospectively analyzing the partial output, this self-reflection enables more trustworthy decisions, thereby significantly reducing the probability of errors at highly uncertain points. Evaluated on challenging mathematical reasoning benchmarks and a diverse set of LLMs, SRGen can significantly strengthen model reasoning. Moreover, our findings position SRGen as a plug-and-play method that integrates reflection into the generation process for reliable LLM reasoning, achieving consistent gains with bounded overhead and can be combined with other training-time (e.g., RLHF) and test-time (e.g., SLOT) techniques.

Learn to Relax with Large Language Models: Solving Constraint Optimization Problems via Bidirectional Coevolution

Beidan Liu, Zhengqiu Zhu National University of Defense Technology, Chen Gao Tsinghua University, Tianle Pu, Yong Zhao, Wei Qi Tsinghua University, Quanjun Yin

原文摘要

Large Language Model (LLM)-based optimization has recently shown promise for autonomous problem solving, yet most approaches still cast LLMs as passive constraint checkers rather than proactive strategy designers, limiting their effectiveness on complex Constraint Optimization Problems (COPs). To address this, we present AutoCO, an end-to-end Automated Constraint Optimization method that tightly couples operations-research principles of constraint relaxation with LLM reasoning. A core innovation is a unified triple-representation that binds relaxation strategies, algorithmic principles, and executable codes. This design enables the LLM to synthesize, justify, and instantiate relaxation strategies that are both principled and executable. To navigate fragmented solution spaces, AutoCO employs a bidirectional global–local coevolution mechanism, synergistically coupling Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) for global relaxation-trajectory exploration with Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) for local solution intensification. This continuous exchange of priors and feedback explicitly balances diversification and intensification, thus preventing premature convergence. Extensive experiments on three challenging COP benchmarks validate AutoCO’s consistent effectiveness and superior performance, especially in hard regimes where current methods degrade. Results highlight AutoCO as a principled and effective path toward proactive, verifiable LLM-driven optimization.

Agile Deliberation: Concept Deliberation for Subjective Visual Classification

Leijie Wang, Otilia Stretcu, Wei Qiao, Thomas Denby, Krishnamurthy Viswanathan, Enming Luo, Chun-Ta Lu, Tushar Dogra 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

From content moderation to content curation, applications requiring vision classifiers for visual concepts are rapidly expanding. Existing human-in-the-loop approaches typically assume users begin with a clear, stable concept understanding to be able to provide high-quality supervision. In reality, users often start with a vague idea and must iteratively refine it through "concept deliberation", a practice we uncovered through structured interviews with content moderation experts. We operationalize the common strategies in deliberation used by real content moderators into a human-in-the-loop framework called "Agile Deliberation" that explicitly supports evolving and subjective concepts. The system supports users in defining the concept for themselves by exposing them to borderline cases. The system does this with two deliberation stages: (1) concept scoping, which decomposes the initial concept into a structured hierarchy of sub-concepts, and (2) concept iteration, which surfaces semantically borderline examples for user reflection and feedback to iteratively align an image classifier with the user's evolving intent. Since concept deliberation is inherently subjective and interactive, we painstakingly evaluate the framework through 18 user sessions, each 1.5h long, rather than standard benchmarking datasets. We find that Agile Deliberation achieves 7.5% higher F1 scores than automated decomposition baselines and more than 3% higher than manual deliberation, while participants reported clearer conceptual understanding and lower cognitive effort.

原文摘要

Cultural biases in multilingual datasets pose significant challenges for their effectiveness as global benchmarks. These biases stem not only from differences in language but also from the cultural knowledge required to interpret questions, reducing the practical utility of translated datasets like MMLU. Furthermore, translation often introduces artefacts that can distort the meaning or clarity of questions in the target language. A common practice in multilingual evaluation is to rely on machine-translated evaluation sets, but simply translating a dataset is insufficient to address these challenges. In this work, we trace the impact of both of these issues on multilingual evaluations and ensuing model performances. Our large-scale evaluation of state-of-the-art open and proprietary models illustrates that progress on MMLU depends heavily on learning Western-centric concepts, with 28% of all questions requiring culturally sensitive knowledge. Moreover, for questions requiring geographic knowledge, an astounding 84.9% focus on either North American or European regions. Rankings of model evaluations change depending on whether they are evaluated on the full portion or the subset of questions annotated as culturally sensitive, showing the distortion to model rankings when blindly relying on translated MMLU. We release Global MMLU, an improved MMLU with evaluation coverage across 42 languages -- with improved overall quality by engaging with compensated professional and community annotators to verify translation quality while also rigorously evaluating cultural biases present in the original dataset. This comprehensive Global MMLU set also includes designated subsets labeled as culturally sensitive and culturally agnostic to allow for more holistic, complete evaluation.
